idk, the game of thrones blog cookbook is good, and references actual medieval recipes so if this one does also and gets basement-folk to cook a food it’s a lesser evil I think

a game of thrones cookbook is martin's long term goal for writing the books in the first place

the intro for the cookbook is basically just him going “I can’t cook for poo poo and I’m insanely fat so it’s great that these people decided to actually make all the food I intricately described, what a good outcome for me!”

Is there any way to track what 1%-ers consume anyways?

I used to make ultra high end, "widgets." A normal one costs $5. Ours cost up to ~$1,000. Made one at a time. Assloads of hand work. Beautiful parts. But I was the only one following the client's loving schematics. I was the only one making these things right. Everyone else who specialized in this account, they just half-assed everything.

A normal one cost $5. Ours cost $1k and the craftsmanship was loving garbage (unless you got one of mine).

Fleecing rich people is great work if you can get it. I'm curious who else out there is fleecing them with like, $200 boxes of pencils or whatever.

even a lot of officers are suckered in by the college thing because ROTC will pick up the tab in return for a 6 or 8 year ADSC or whatever. but almost everyone I met above major was a piece of poo poo, and the only reason there were exceptions was because the air force loves to promote pilots to command and staff duties against their will so you end up with depressed lt. colonels that just want to fly but have to do all this management bullshit. the sociopaths that let the rapes happen and stuff are the ones who actually want to be in command of a bunch of people with effectively no legal rights

your job was just that, a job. you weren't doing useful work, nor were you expected to. the purpose was to keep you busy and content with your meager paycheck, lest you start getting ideas about why exactly your slaving away for the rich making useless trinkets.

Standards are an acknowledgement of something greater than the self, qkkl.

But to get serious for a moment, work environments are very stressful when there's constant friction between formal and informal standards and you only survive through office politics.

It's much better when you just show up, work and go home and don't have to worry about poo poo.

i think as it usually goes, the outcry began with pc games (pc games often get various bullshit first since it's easiest to experiment on a non-curated platform), but then slowly spread elsewhere.

however, most people who play games on other platforms actively dislike the bullshit that mobile gaming has been from pretty much the very start. i remember a pretty large contingent being hyped on smartphone gaming, as it'll surely replace poo poo like nintendo switch since you have your phone on you all the time anyway, but nope, it's instead a shitgame infested hellscape where few people make a shitload of money off a ton of whales. so the only people who still persist in mobile games are probably people who don't care.

The attention economy is a real and very scary thing. Your brain processes experiences with different parts of itself based on what, if anything, is facilitating the experience. If you're using a tool, the experience is handled by a part of your brain that tries to see potentials for personal gains, basically seeing the world in a very short-term, transactional nature. In this scenario, very little emphasis gets placed on emotions or intellectual enrichment. As you can guess, this is the part of your brain that so much of modern technology preys on, and you can see what deleterious effects it can have on both you and society at large if it becomes the primary way we experience the world.

Caveat: I'm not a neuroscientist and can't say how much of this is true; I'm pretty much regurgitating what I read in an article earlier this week.

also it's a derail but this is kinda true in a different way, I wanted to point out that when you use tools your brain will be like "what the gently caress?? hmm. Yes this also is my body," assuming you get feedback thru your hands or w/e, so the brain will eventually think hammers or cars or pencils or really a large amount of regular stuff is actually literally you, the same pathways light up as regular exercise or regular dexterity tasks -- the brain interprets these things as extensions of the bod. I don't think keyboards or phones count for this, you need to get actual feedback. That's how people know something's wrong with the car by feel, it's like getting a piece of grit stuck in your tooth.

I don't know where I first read it tho so perhaps I also am wrong.
